Once I upgraded to v8 I have lost the auto download and open settings I set previously for PDF files, and the option to "Automatically open files of this type" has been greyed out. I upload and download a significant number of PDFs in a day and now have to select "Save" and "Open" each time, whereas previously I could select 10 PDFs to download and they would open in the background when complete. How do I fix this?

I started having have strange problem after this particular update. It's blank page, - page is not loading, it's blank. It doesn't say that it can't be loaded, it's just blank page even after refresh..

I only have one niggle with Chrome now and that is that the "most visited" thumbnails used to only refresh the thumbnail pic to what it currently was but now I see it goes as far as loading a new pic within the actual account of the persons account e.g. Facebook,Gmail etc.
